Will it work for thin guys needing abdominal support? I have a 31" waist, but surgery left my abdomen weak and in need of support.

I purchased this and my waist is about 31" also...there's no issue with it fitting me. the Velcro can cling to the entire back surface so there really isn't a minimum waist circumference limit...depending on how tight I wrap it, it overlaps itself by quite a bit, but this is by design I believe. it does offer back support...I notice it when I'm on an excercise bike...I don't slouch as much. I think it is primarily designed to create a heat seal that reduces water weight around the abdomen, I'd describe "back support" as secondary benefit. but I do notice it helps for that.

Yes. You just wrap it around to the desired tightness/support and attach it closed with the velcro. Its been a total life save while i have been moving :)

Yes it should im a 33 waist and it's fine with me... The front attaches by velcro so no size is limited. I hope this helps you out.

This could work great for support. Its very comfortable, I forget I have it on.

I am positive that this belt will help. I do use it too for my hernia surgery. Sometimes my stomack pain kills me. As soon as I put tight on it, the pain is gone. I could even play soccer right after that while I was not even able to walk without it. I hope it will work in your case. It did work in mine.Good luck.

Ye, Ed, it helps but be careful not to make it very tight. It will support and warm any place in the body without tighteing it up too much. Just make sure that you abdomnal is comfortable without making the trimmer too loose either.

My 21 year old son does have mild back troubles, but this didn't seem to affect it one way or another. However, most medical professionals will tell you to strengthen your stomach muscles to help your back, so in theory, it would work....BUT....as a person who has had three back surgeries, I would think this type of exercise machine a bit too extreme for someone who has serious back troubles. If your back troubles stem from muscle strain, it may help...but if you have a bulging disk, sciatica or spinal stenosis, I would try something less strenuous.

Actually, I found this under mens, but I agree it is designed with a woman's body in mind. The waist is small, which works great for me. Perhaps going up in size will make it work for you, as I love the product line, especially the shorts.

I've found those fitting higher up on the "waist" are better. I tried several brands before I found one that worked. All of them seem to run small so I'm not surprised to hear you're having troubles with an extra small. Good luck.

It really depends on the length of your torso. I have short legs but a long torso - even after adjusting the straps as much as possible, this brace still came straight across my stomach - so was no help for my lower back.

I used it on an off for my love handles and also when my lower back hurts. I believe it works but you have to be diligent about it. For exercise I swim masters competitively and I really don't diet. I would assume that if you reach your goal you would monitor your mid section and maybe use it a couple times a week for maintenance. Just my two cents.

You might try a Mueller 6753 - Adjustable Back and Abdominal Support. See http://muellerrx.com/adjustable-back-and-abdominal-support/

I would think it would be quite helpful. Yes. Need to adjust buckle for tightness where you want. Depends on thickness of clothes. If sitting belly sticks out more than standing.

Sorry Larissa but I don't think it would work for you. The previous comment says it is "very elastic" I would say it had some give to it but it is made of Neoprene so it is as elastic as putting on a wet suit!I have found that it works well for me to wrap it once around my thigh then around my hips. This allow the best sprort of the groin area. I needed it after a hip surgery and it worked well. Sadly I don't think it will work for you as I wear womens XL and using the previously described wrap method there is very little overlap.

Elizabeth, may I ask how it's working out for you - IF - you are using this? I am very petite also, and am wondering how it will work, especially since it's pre-tied in the back? (if I'm not misunderstanding descriptions ;)Any further explanations and tips about how it works for you, would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you in advance! Blessings... :)

I am a petite female and I have to really tighten it up to fit my waist, but it fits. An average fit male should have no issue.

i recently purchased a large --I am a 36 waist ---fits good ---it is a good back brace ---good support -but flexible enough to wear during a workout or playing golf -----good luck

It will help if used daily. Get an ab belt back support. They really shed the pooch and cost around 12 dollars. I wear mine all day and noticed I'm slimmer. Doing ab workout would be beneficial too. Don't rely on one thing to solve the problem.

Not exactly, no. The slot for a belt is 1 1/2 inches. My guess is you could force it, it would just pull down the top of your pants a little (since the top of the pants is what carries the weight, not the belt). I'd recommend either getting a narrower belt, or going with a different holster. (For the record, this is a good little holster, though.)

Hey Nataliya I don't think it would. My waist is about 2inches bigger and it was just fine. I sensed I could get it even tighter if I did lose some weight

Yeah...it might be a snug fit. I have a 50 in waist and its just big enough. Hope this helps!Glenn

Can't answer directly, but I'll do my best - I have a 34" waist. With the strap loosened all the way, there is about a 6" gap between the buckle and my belly. This is the same frame and kidney pack I used in the Army and in my platoon in basic there was a guy that was about 6'3" tall and nearly 350 pounds and he had no problems.
